Title 9 PUBLIC PEACE, MORALS AND WELFARE
Chapter 9.53 IMPROPER SALE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL OR CONCEALING OF ENCUMBERED PROPERTY
9.53.010 Improper sale, disposal, removal or concealing of encumbered property.
Improper sale, disposal, removal or concealing of encumbered property
consists of any person knowingly, and with intent to defraud selling,
transferring, removing or concealing, or in any manner disposing of, any
personal property upon which a security interest, chattel mortgage or other lien
or encumbrance has attached or been retained, without the written consent of the
holder of such security interest, chattel mortgage, conditional sales contract,
lien or encumbrance. Any broker, dealer or agent, buyer or seller who receives
any renumeration whatsoever for transfer of equity or arranges the assumption of
any loan on a mobile home or recreational vehicle which has a lien filed upon
such vehicle with the motor vehicle division of the transportation department
must obtain written consent from the lien holder approving transferee’s
assumption of transferor’s obligation to the lien holder within ten days
of such transaction before such transaction is entered into, provided that the
lien holder’s written consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Failure
to do so constitutes an improper sale, disposal or removal or concealment of
encumbered property which is punishable as a petty misdemeanor. Whoever commits
improper sale, disposal, removal or concealing of encumbered property where the
value of such property is two hundred fifty dollars or less is guilty of a petty
misdemeanor. (Ord. 1864-2007 § 2(B), 2007: Ord. 1802-2004
§ 2(part), 2004).
